Who had California Earthquakes on their 2020 card?
If there is anything left of this sea, it will be swallowed up in the coming 7.0 earthquake, imo.
Beginning in 1900, to help irrigate fertile but dry lands in the Imperial Valley, canals were built across the southern edge of the Salton Basin. Too small to handle flood waters and shoddily built, in 1905 after heavy rainfall and snowmelt, massive amounts of water pouring into one canal from the Colorado River overran two dykes and broke the canal’s headworks. Over the next 18 months, despite efforts to stop it, water from the Colorado flowed freely into the massive basin, creating two new rivers, the New and the Alamo, and a freshwater lake, the Salton Sea.

Heh, don’t get yer hopes up too much. The Continental plate is subducting to the Pacific plate ;-p
Be prepared.
I’m more interested in those Chocolate Mountains...
The chances are 50/50. Like everything it’s either going to happen or not.
a 1 in 300 chance?
So that’s less than 1% at a 0.33% chance?
Which swarm was that?
Look at the top left where the Salton Sea is above Mexicali, and then look at the northern end of Baja as it's jetting towards the Salton Sea just below Mexicali. It's 2020 so don't be surprised if Baja splits all the way to the Salton Sea.
“San Andreas Fault”? “Imperial Fault”? They’ll call it Trump’s Fault. Pulling out of the Paris Accords made the seismically-sensitive zones heat up and expand.
